After 40 hours of digging, experts chose this tree as the best fake Christmas tree

The website's testers said they spent more than 40 hours figuring this out.

One researcher visited a factory where fake trees are made, shopped big box stores and examined hundreds of options online. Another spent hours talking with the American Christmas Tree Association − yes, it's a real thing − to learn about the industry. (The ACTA not to be confused with the National Christmas Tree Association, whose URL of realchristmastrees.org pretty much tells what it's all about.)
